NewsTranscript
00:00A 18-year-old woman was brutally killed inside an abandoned house in Baguio.
00:07The suspect is a possible acquaintance of the victim.
00:11Joseph Moro has the story.
00:16There's no end to it.
00:17Her friend's 18-year-old girlfriend died inside her abandoned house in San Carlos Heights, Baguio City.
00:27The victim, Casey Gabrielle Labayen, was identified as a customer care assistant at a club in Lungsud.
00:36Initially, she had six stab wounds in her right neck area.
00:42The wound was very deep and there was an indication that she was really injured.
00:47Aside from the stab wounds, the victim also lost her cell phone, money, and other items,
00:52even the knife used in the crime.
00:54According to the authorities, an autopsy report is still waiting for the victim, but they already have persons of interest.
01:00It's also possible that the victim recognized the suspect based on the social media messages they found.
01:05We already identified persons of interest.
01:09We have established a link where we can reach them so we can identify the suspect.
01:18It's possible that she recognized the suspect.
01:21The victim has a clear motive for the crime, but the police did not include rape and theft,
01:25even though the angle is related to the work or personal life of the victim.
01:30The police is also working with the barangay to investigate the CCTV footage of the crime.
01:37The CCTVs in the area, CCTVs of the barangay and establishments have CCTV cameras.
01:48The GMA Original TV is working hard to get the statement of the victims' relatives.
01:53For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, for Tutok 24 Horas.
01:58Just a week before the candidacy for the election 2025 started,
02:05the venue for the filing of national candidates was inspected
02:11while the machine for printing balotas was being assembled.
02:18Oscar Oida was live. Oscar?
02:24Yes, Mel, don't do that.
02:26The two printing machines that will be used for printing balotas for the upcoming election
02:29were presented to the media earlier.
02:36We managed to assemble the machines that will be used for printing balotas for the election 2025.
02:47The machines were made in America, each costing 300 million pesos.
02:52This machine is the first in Asia, I think the first two units in Asia.
02:57When it's finished, it's a balot.
02:59No one will touch the balot.
03:00So from roll to balot, that's the output.
03:04It's straight to verification.
03:07Half a million balotas can be printed by each machine every 24 hours.
03:14And because there's almost no human intervention, it's almost fail-proof.
03:20If there's a defect in the printing, you just have to remove it.
03:24Then you replace it with a new one.
03:26It's like a desktop printer, you can run again.
03:28You don't need an engineer.
03:29Next month, the test printing will be targeted.
03:33December to March, the actual printing will be 73 million balotas.
03:39The machines can also be used for printing other materials.
03:43Especially in our voters' education,
03:46we can use, for example, the ballots we gave to our fellow countrymen.
03:52Komelec also inspected the space in Manila Hotel
03:56where the national candidates will vote starting from October 1.
04:02After winning the bidding, the six hotels will be booked.
04:06Only three can be included as senatorial aspirants,
04:10while four will be allowed in each party list.
04:14It won't be strict on the attire and possible gimmick of the aspirants,
04:18but they hope that the election process will still be one-sided.
04:24We have to respect that this is an opportunity for us to show our attitude.
04:30Yesterday, Komelec also visited the two data centers that will be used in the election.
04:36The security is tight and it's designed so that it won't be affected by earthquakes, floods, and typhoons.
04:43That's why the data will be backed up and taken care of.
04:47The cooling system and power supply will also be checked
04:50so that the Komelec server won't be affected.
04:57Meanwhile, Mel, Komelec once again reminded the public
05:00that the voters' registration will be until September 13
05:04and that there will be no extension.
05:06Mel?
05:07Thank you very much, Oscar Oida.
05:11The number of Chinese ships in the West Philippine Sea has increased to 251.
05:16The highest number since the AFP monitored the situation.
05:19Chino Gaston is on the scene.
05:25More than a week after BRP Teresa Magbanua was forced to leave the Escoda Shoal,
05:30almost 100 Chinese ships were added to the entire West Philippine Sea.
05:34Because of that, 251 Chinese ships were added to the WPS.
05:39The highest number since the AFP monitored the situation.
05:46This is the biggest increase.
05:48From 157, it went down a bit, then it went up to 251.
05:52For whatever reason, I don't want to speculate on that.
05:55We continue monitoring, we continue performing our mandate.
05:58The number of Chinese Navy warships in the Escoda Shoal
06:02has increased from four on September 16 to 11 now.
06:05Seven Chinese Coast Guards were added and three Chinese Militia Vessels.
06:11Even in Yungin Shoal, where the BRP Sierra Madre,
06:1462 Chinese Militia,
06:167 Chinese Coast Guards,
06:18and one Research Vessel are monitoring.
06:21But it doesn't mean that China has control of the Escoda Shoal.
06:27The ICAD activities in the West Philippine Sea
06:30is designed to curtail us from moving around.
06:34This has been debunked by the Arbitral Tribunal 2016
06:38and we have to continue pushing back against this
06:41because the international law is behind us.
06:44The only thing necessary to legitimize the presence of the PLA
06:49in the West Philippine Sea
06:51is for the Philippine instrumentality in the maritime domain
06:55to stop performing its mandate.
06:57Although the Philippines is unable to face China's strength in the sea,
07:01the number of warships is gradually increasing.
07:06Earlier, two fast-attack interdiction craft arrived from Israel
07:10that are capable of dispatching missiles
07:13and to land on the incoming ships in the Philippine Sea.
07:16The Philippine bought the Shumna Attack Craft
07:19for P10 billion as part of the country's AFP modernization
07:23and self-reliant defense posture.
07:26Designed for high-speed operations,
07:29featuring advanced missile systems and sophisticated onboard technology,
07:34which enhances the Philippine Navy's capability
07:36to conduct rapid and effective maritime interdiction operations.
07:40The arrival of these vessels underscores
07:42the continued modernization of the Philippine Navy.
07:45For the GMA Integrated News,
07:47Chino Gaston reporting for 24 Hours.
07:50The police are now looking for the last accomplice
07:53of an 18-year-old woman
07:56before she was found dead in a lodging house in Toledo, Cebu.
08:01The victim's father has a call to the suspect.
08:04Femarie Dumabok of GMA Regional TV reporting for 24 Hours.
08:11The father of a Grade 12 student, May Fatima Tagaktak,
08:15is still unaccounted for.
08:18On Thursday, May Fatima said goodbye to a dance practice in her school.
08:23That was the last time she saw her 18-year-old son alive.
08:28He went to a lodging house in Toledo, Cebu
08:31with a 43-year-old Lorben Kabugsan Larut.
08:35On Friday morning, May Fatima was found hanged,
08:39with a knife and no longer alive in the room of the lodging house.
08:43They called Larut to confess to the authorities.
08:47We went to bring her son.
08:49The justice department brought her son to us.
08:52It's like this, sir.
08:54It hurts a little.
08:56It's like I'm taking care of my son.
09:01May Fatima is still alive.
09:04I don't know what to do.
09:08If she's still alive, we will transfer her to another place.
09:11May Fatima's body went under an autopsy.
09:14But in the next few days, the results will be known.
09:17The police are investigating the cause of death of the victim
09:20and if she was raped before she was killed.
09:22The IOC of Toledo City,
09:25we saw that she was hugged
09:29and she was put on a child's handkerchief in her mouth.
09:37The cause of death, regarding their progress report,
09:41it's still to be examined.
09:44The regionwide manhunt operation against the suspect was also conducted.
09:49The police also contacted their counterparts in Misamis Oriental
09:53to verify the information that the suspect has a standing warrant
09:57for the murder of his father in June 2023.
10:02The last time Larut was seen in the PR1 of Cebu City was on Friday night
10:06when she was having dinner with her live-in partner
10:09according to the owner of the room she was sleeping in.
10:12That was last year when Larut started sleeping in.
10:16She worked as a barker or assist passengers from the ship
10:20to ride the taxi in exchange for some money.
10:38Often, the suspect wore a wig or hat to hide his baldness
10:43and wearing a mask or a cover on his mouth.
10:47Because he was recognized by the victim on social media,
10:50the authorities reminded the people talking to him in the chat.
10:54I hope that his parents know that there are crimes being committed using social media.
11:07From JME Regional TV and JME Integrated News,
11:11FEMERI DUMABOK, 24 HOURS
11:16And for those who can't afford the price of rice,
11:20it is expected to be cheaper next year, according to the Department of Agriculture.
11:26Before Christmas, the 100 doses of vaccine against African Swine Fever
11:32is a target, according to the Department of Agriculture.
11:36If the price of rice is 52 now, it should be 48 by January.
11:44If the price of rice is 50 now, it should be 45 by January.
11:48The good news is that the price of rice will be cheaper next year,
11:53according to the Department of Agriculture.
11:55It is because of the positive effect of Executive Order 62,
11:58which lowers the price of imported rice from 15% to 35%.
12:03President Bongbong Marcos is positive that the price of rice will be lowered
12:07in the first sectoral meeting with the DA and DOF.
12:10He also agreed to reduce the inflation rate to 2.5% this September.
12:15The price of rice will increase as Christmas approaches.
12:18It is still within the 2-4% target of the government.
12:21For the full year, we're looking at the total inflation rate to be about 3.4%, more or less.
12:27And the beauty about reducing inflation is that your GDP growth goes up
12:32and more jobs can be created.
12:34Your borrowing cost goes down.
12:36Possibly, we can reduce interest rates further.
12:38The interest rate of the government is lower now,
12:42but most of all, the interest rate will be lowered.
12:45For example, in the credit card of Juan de la Cruz.
12:49Along with the usual doubling of demand for pork, Christmas is approaching.
12:54The pursuit of vaccination for African Swine Fever,
12:57according to the Department of Agriculture,
12:5910,000 pigs have already been vaccinated.
13:02And I include the 600,000 doses of vaccine purchased at the end of the year.
13:07It is very important that we roll out the ASF vaccine,
13:11especially to our backyard farmers, our livestock growers.
13:16Because this will...
13:19If the pigs have confidence in this vaccine,
13:25then they will start investing again in farms,
13:29even in our commercials,
13:31that will repopulate.
13:34Still on Christmas Eve,
13:36the Department of Finance promised that they have no reason
13:39to delay the return of boxes sent by OFWs.
13:43As for remittances from Filipinos abroad,
13:46it is expected that it will not be far from the current 55-to-1 exchange rate of pesos versus dollars.
13:53For Giamainting Rated News,
13:55Ivan Mejrina for Tutok, 24 Hours.
14:24Bicol Region, as well as a larger portion of Visayas and Mindanao.

14:36just like earlier, there is still a chance of rain this afternoon or afternoon,
14:39so bring an umbrella.
14:41Easterlies is still the main weather system that affects the country.
14:46Let's update on La Niña.
14:47According to La Niña,
14:48it is expected that the rain will increase
14:50and there is a 71% chance that it will start
14:54between the remaining days of September until November this year.
14:59And it is possible that it will continue until the first quarter of 2025.
15:03Expect more rain when it starts to affect the country.
15:08So keep watching for updates.
